In today’s interconnected world, every coaching conversation crosses cultural boundaries. This interactive workshop will show you how to harness the power of cultural diversity to release creativity, deepen connection, and elevate your coaching impact.
Discover how intercultural coaching — the intentional integration of a cultural perspective into coaching, being mindful of variations in how we communicate, manage time, organize ourselves, think, define our identity, and more generally engage in our various activities — can expand self-awareness, promote creativity and unity, and unlock sustainable growth. You’ll also experience the Cultural Orientations Framework (COF), a powerful model and assessment tool that provides a common language for navigating cultural differences. The COF assessment can be applied at multiple interconnected levels: individual development, team development, organizational development, and societal progress.
You Will Learn to:
- Unlock creativity and promote unity by leveraging diverse cultural orientations.
- Move beyond current cultural norms, values, and beliefs to expand awareness and empathy.
- Develop a shared vocabulary to describe and bridge key cultural characteristics.
- Experience and apply the Cultural Orientations Framework (COF) to enhance individual, team, and organizational development.
This program includes a complimentary Cultural Orientation Framework (COF) assessment, to be completed prior to the session. The results will be explored during the program through peer coaching and dialogue to deepen understanding of cultural dynamics for individuals, teams, and organizations.
Prework: Participants will be asked to complete a COF (Cultural Orientation Framework) Assessment prior to the session. Directions to follow.
